Under the inspiring glow of the holiday lights in downtown Fort Collins, existing and new fans came out to join author Lenore Borja for the book launch of The Last Huntress at Old Firehouse Books. Check out some of these photos from the fabulous event.
I love a good love story. From slow burn to first sight, it doesn’t matter. Add in paranormal, fantasy, or dystopian elements, and I’m all in. These are the stories I crave, so naturally, they are the stories I write!
My love for writing started in the 8th grade when I wrote a short story about a girl on the Titanic. I loved imagining who she was, her hopes and dreams, and how she ended up on that ship. Of course, it wasn’t Rose and Jack (by a long shot), but it planted the seed that would eventually lead to my career as an author.
Oh, I took a few detours along the way. I was an actor. A bartender. A financial recruiter. A human resources professional. I was a lot of things. But one thing I never stopped being was a lover of books. While I might gravitate toward a specific genre, I’ll read anything that engages and captivates me. Historical, Thrillers, Rom-Coms, Post-Apocalyptic, Sci-Fi, Memoirs, Young Adult, I’ll devour them all! (Okay, maybe not cookbooks. I’m useless in the kitchen – ask my husband)
The point is, I love reading. I love immersing myself in another world for a while. Writing takes this one step further; it gives me the privilege of creating that world. And to be able to SHARE that world with you, the reader? That might be my favorite love story of all.
A few boring facts about me (because my characters are way more interesting):
Birthplace: Kankakee, IL (though I mainly grew up in Phoenix, AZ)
Favorite Book: Not possible to answer, but if my cat’s life were on the line, then I’d probably say Jane Eyre
Favorite Movie: No. Can’t do it.
Favorite Series: Tie between Lost and Friday Night Lights
Spirit Animal: Cat, obviously
Zodiac Sign: Gemini
Most embarrassing moment: Listing these factoids
